Support Kimberly's Fight Against Rare Blood Cancer

On July 8th, 2025, Kimberly received the life-altering diagnosis of a rare blood cancer stemming from the JAK2 mutation. Hearing the news felt like the ground shifted beneath our feet, touching each of us in ways words can hardly express.

Kim is the heart of our world, a woman whose kindness, honesty, and unwavering generosity have touched countless lives. She isn’t just a sister, a daughter, or a friend… she’s a caregiver in every sense of the word. She runs a daycare, fosters children in need, and lives every day with a deep sense of purpose and love for her family and community.

Her creativity shines in her poetry, and her empathy makes everyone around her feel truly seen and heard. She’s an old soul with a young heart, always ready with a warm smile or a helping hand.

Even while facing her own diagnosis, Kim continues to care for our mother, Susan, who has been courageously battling cancer off and on for years. Kim never hesitates… she’s there for every appointment, every need, every quiet moment of support. That’s just who she is: someone who shows up, no matter what she’s carrying herself.

Through it all, Kimberly’s sons, Joshua (Natasha Nelson) and Micah Hanna, have been by her side-steadfast, supportive, and full of love. Their strength, compassion, and quiet acts of care have been a source of comfort and stability. They are good sons in every sense of the word, and their presence has meant the world to Kim during this incredibly difficult time.

Now, as she begins this difficult journey, Kim needs our help. The road ahead will be filled with treatments, travel, and time away from work, bringing with it a heavy financial burden. Funds raised will go directly toward medical expenses, travel for treatment, and essential living costs as she focuses on healing.

Our family has already endured so much, and with very few of us left, we’re leaning on the kindness of others to help carry Kim through this fight. If you’re able to give, please know that every donation... no matter the size, makes a difference. And if you can’t give, sharing this page and sending your love means the world to us.

Kim, you are the strongest woman I know. I’ve looked up to you my whole life... not just because you’re my sister, but because of the way you love so fiercely, give so freely, and carry others even when your own heart is heavy. You’ve always been our safe place, our steady hand, our light in the dark. Now it’s our turn to be that for you. We’re not letting go. We’re walking this with you- every step, every breath, every battle. You are not alone.

We believe in Kim’s strength, and we believe in the power of community to lift her up when she needs it most.
